The rally was opened by remarks from Darline Graham herself, who dismissed allegations of never previously being in politics by comparing herself to Trump.
“Now, the critics say I shouldn’t run for the Senate. They say I’m not a politician. You know what I say? Guilty as charged,” she told the crowd. Then, comparing herself to Trump, she said, “I think he’s done a damn good job.”
Trump told the attendees vote for Graham. “You have to get out and vote,” Trump said. “And we need every South Carolina patriot to go to the polls and vote for Darline Graham.”
